What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Shure MV5-LTG Digital Condenser Microphone for USB and Lightning

I like the Retro design and compact size.
Quality Shure build and sweet ergonomic design
The form factor with the stand makes it ideal to use when a mic stand is not available.
The mic is built quite well and the materials are excellent. Excellent deal for the money!
The thing fits in the palm of your hand easily.
The housing for this mic is cheap plastic - unlike any other Shure microphone I've ever seen.

This is great the app is easy to use the mic is easy to use the sound quality seems pretty good even with the mic sitting in front of my bass cab .
Simple to use. Impressive audio. Smoother than phone quality recorded audio.
Great tool to get musical ideas documented. Perfect for voice recording and broadcasting. Great beginner software to get feet wet in the world of digital recording
There is absolutely no hiss on the recording, clean as a whistle! The settings for voice, flat, and instrument is a very nice feature.
I am using this microphone to record Podcasts and find it easy and effective to use.
While it did connect fine to my PC, the audio result was completely disappointing
